US Open Day 8 Schedule, Scores, Match Times: Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Serena Williams to Play Monday
Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Serena Williams will see action in Day 8 of the 2014 U.S. Open tennis tournament on Monday in New York.
Djokovic, who is looking to win his 10th Grand Slam title, will go up against Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany in the fourth round at the Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Kohlschreiber scored a hard-earned 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 7-6 win against 13th-seeded John Isner of USA in the third round. The 22nd-seeded German will be a heavy underdog against Djokovic, but he vowed to give his best shot to score another upset.
"I would say I do almost the same things, same preparation before," Kohlschreiber said of facing Djokovic. "Also last year I played John and then faced Nadal, who was No. 1 in the world. It's great to still be in the tournament, playing on the big courts. I really enjoy it. Well, he's the guy to beat in this tournament."
Meanwhile, Andy Murray of Great Britain will look to advance to the quarterfinals, but he will have to be at his best when he goes up against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in the fourth round.
Murray, who defeated Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in his previous match, said in an interview that he expects a close fight against the ninth-seeded French, who has been playing well as of late.
"It will be a tough match," Murray said. "We played each other a lot of times. He's obviously playing well right now. He had a great week in Canada. Yeah, he's played some good tennis so far here. Obviously it will be a tough match."
The winner of the Djokovic-Kohlschreiber and Murray-Tsonga matches will collide in the quarterfinals.
On the women's side, Serena Williams will resume her quest to win her sixth title at Flushing Meadows against Kaia Kanepi of Estonia, who scored an upset against Carla Suarez-Navarro of Spain on Saturday.
Williams has not dropped a set in the first three rounds of the tournament, but the 17-time Grand Slam champion said that she will play with same intensity that she had since the opening round of this year's event.
